Finally, first semester is over and after our previous week of EE's, we Ausmatians finally gotten ourselves a BREAK! Only have one week of holidays though. Not much but better than nothing. I bet most of them are holidaying it up at oversea countries. As for me? I just go to Tanjung Rambutan lah, much more simple ;) Kidding, it's totally fictitious, but of course, I don't think I'll be going anywhere this whole week.
Okay, if it's one thing I don't understand sometimes, its the censorship system in Malaysia. Picture this, I was in the car on the way to my destination and the radio plays the catchy yet controversial song 'I Kissed A Girl' sung by Katy Perry. Any of you who don't know what I'm talking about can view the whole thing here. See? I've even taken the liberty of providing you the video complete with lyrics. Y'all should love me! TwT
Anyhoo, it focuses primarily on the chorus. Being a female singer, she sang like this:
I kissed a girl and I liked it,
The taste of her cherry chapstick,
I kissed a girl just to try it,
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it,
You listen to the radio, obviously they would censor the word 'girl' and that's all. BUT! Come on! People are BOUND to find out exactly WHAT they censored or WHO she kissed. And next, you look at the second line, the word 'her' wasn't censored on the radio BUT if I were a stupid teenybopper or tween hearing this song for the first time, God knows I'd figured it out anyhow! What the eff? You might as well not let that song being played on on the radio in the first place! Man...the things they do to get listeners on the radio these days...
Enough with that, I now want to talk about happier things. I've finally gotten myself a book shelf. Thumbs up for me! =D

Before, it used to be this. If you're actually wondering, that's actually a shoe rack. We didn't have much use for it at the time, so I took it. Originally I had a TV placed on top of it but it was of little use to me, hence I removed it.
For a shoe rack, you can put so much more than just a couple pair of sneakers and heels. But of course, one has to have proper furniture in one's room. So we went to Ikea to get my proper book shelf.
Most tiring part of all is the build-up. You know when you buy Ikea products they have simple instructions booklet for you to sort it out? Well, mine took 3-4 hours to complete. Because it's 80 cm tall!.
Nearly done and the kitties have already grown an instant liking to it! =D
Sorry if this picture seems abit tilted. But I'm no Leibovitz, mind you.
Starting from the top most, are ones I've done ready and might probably not read it again perhaps, in the mean time. I've even added my 5 school magazines just for the occasion.
Second shelf are my usual collection of books. You'll find that I am an absolute fan of Roald Dahl and Nicholas Sparks.
Third and middle part of the book shelf. Soon to be filled with crap novelty items like that magic 8 ball, rubiks cube and maybe a plastic slinky soon.
Last three rows are my entertainment items. Bottom most are my animes.
Once upon a time, I was 14 years old and my cousin was at my place and he wanted to watch Ranma 1/2 on AXN channel. I instantly began to take a liking to it. My friends back in Seafield were all anime-crazed and I too joined in the forces. And from that day since, I fell inlove with animes and we sometimes had funny delusional dreams that we were married to some of the male characters in some of the anime. My obsession only lasted 'till my PMR year but it was fun while it lasted. =)
Well, I think I'll stop here now. I know it's been quite some time I last blogged cause I was out and about this whole week. Tune in...
